Okay, this looks painful to the max! Ouch! Think of all the practice that went into preparing for something like this: click to watch.

When I was a kid, I always found the Chick tracts an interesting read (for the uninitiated, they’re little comic book evanglistic tracts with transparently thin storylines and lots of “literal flames of hell” threats and such). Nonetheless, they engaged my young mind and the plots of many of those little stories are still seared on my brain.

Chick published a tract (still available for order online, and fully printed online here) called “Titanic”. Some peeps took the actual text from that publication and mashed it up with scenes from the movie titanic, mixing in some additional animation scene work from a Jack Chick painting or two, resulting in this 8 minute video.

I found this somewhere in the mix of interesting, funny, creative, and disturbing.

I am on the trip of a lifetime right now, overseas in Jerusalem, Israel.  Please stop by my trip blog to read all about my experiences, see the pics, and watch the videos.  Definitely a life-altering trip!

Just got these pics back from Dad’s recent big motorcycle trip with my brother, Todd; I thought that Dad looked pretty good in his new threads.  Then, just days later, I had the opportunity to ride his Goldwing (pictured above) to Pierre for a family wedding that I was attending.  Deanna and the girls had left early so we thought driving a motorcycle would help us save on gas.

Anyhow, I got to wear Dad’s cool new threads (new biker jacket, gloves, and helmet) and jam to tunes hooked up to his 6-disk CD changer in the back saddlebag.  Bonus, was the big white cup (also pictured above) that you could fill with ice and a “tall boy AMP” energy drink for the ride home!  I had so much fun; I love road trips anyway, but Dad’s Goldwing is sooooo… comfortable.  Seriously, I think I could do a long trip easier with it than with any car I’ve ever driven.

The best part was probably the other people’s reaction to the biker in black duds rocking out to tunes on the interstate.  It’s one thing to “rock out” in the car listening to tunes, but when you are on the bike EVERYONE can see you — including your feet, keeping “air time” with the “air kick drum”!  (smile)  Gotta love it!

For fans of the guy from this previous post, here’s another brand new music video, “The Day I Suddenly Knew Kung Fu”…
